Over-the-road trucking

Over-the-road (OTR) trucking involves the transportation of goods across long distances, typically between cities or states. Drivers operate large trucks, such as semi-trailers, on highways to deliver products efficiently. This form of trucking is essential for supply chains, ensuring goods from manufacturers reach stores and consumers promptly. OTR trucking often requires drivers to spend multiple days on the road, adhering to regulations regarding hours of service and safety. It plays a critical role in national commerce, balancing logistical needs with driver well-being and regulatory compliance.
